Eco- Friendly Ganesh

Eco-Friendly Ganesh idols are specially crafted from natural, biodegradable materials like clay, soil, paper-mâché, cow dung, or plant-based compounds instead of harmful Plaster of Paris (PoP) and synthetic paints. These idols are designed to dissolve easily in water, causing minimal environmental damage while maintaining religious sanctity.

They are often painted with natural colors derived from turmeric, multani mitti, chandan (sandalwood), and vegetable dyes. Some eco-friendly idols even have seeds embedded inside so that after immersion (visarjan), the idol grows into a plant—symbolizing renewal and sustainability.

Choosing eco-friendly idols for Ganesh Chaturthi helps reduce water pollution, protect aquatic life, and promote a greener celebration.
